Sky Rail - Light Rail History

19th Century - Horse-drawn trams: Trams run on rails to avoid the mud in the unpaved streets. The first affordable Public Transport.

Early 20th Century - Electric Trams: The catalyst for the growth of many cities in the days before widespread car ownership. Now looked on with nostalgia. Note the complete lack of traffic in this picture from Hull.

Late 20th Century - "Super" Trams: The new generation of trams, in many cases segregated from other traffic and pedestrians. Where trams do enter the domain of the car (or the pedestrian) the potential for accidents is considerable - witness the frequent accidents in Sheffield and Croydon.

21st Century - Sky Rail: Fully segregated by design. Offering a renaissance for Public Transport by providing a quality alternative to the car. Premium Public Transport for your city. Sky Rail, the solution to traffic congestion.
